I had a pretty desperate situation to get hired into a position that was my dream job. I sought a debt relief company’s help: They botched it, and I almost didn’t get the job. I called Wayne at 9am. By 11am I officially had the job. Wayne is not just the credit guy, he is the credit guru and I feel blessed that my financial advisor recommended that I call him. With supreme confidence, I know that you will feel the same way once you call him too. ...read more

Mr Danny Hill, I request that you return my $675 cash I payed you as down payment for remodelling (put ceramic tiles on bathroom floors), on July 1st, 2013.

You signed the contract with us, you put my $675 into your pocket. You were supposed to start the work beginning of July 2013. But you never started any work.

Contacted Wayne last February (2013) to help fix my credit. I was referred to by 2 close friends who advised me the process was very simple. I did everything Wayne advised me to do and 1 year later (Jan 2014), using the same credit score website, my credit score went up 39 points, (Transunion), 134 points (Experian), and 61 points (Equifax). I would tell anyone looking to try to rebuild their credit to use Wayne and his expertise!! He is very knowledgeable and extremely professional and courteous ...read more
After 17 years in the electrical contracting industry, I am amazed at the question: "Do you fix/install ____________ ?" I am amazed because as an electrical contractor, what I do affects virtually every nook and cranny of a structure. There are very, very few things electrical that I cannot do. Some easy ones. "Do you do smoke detectors?" Yes. "Doorbells?" Yes. "Install and program big screen TVs?" Yes. "Install exterior security lighting?" Yes. "Ceiling fans?" Yes. Here are some that I do not fix/install (actual requests): "Will you sign off on the wiring I did myself in my illegal garage remodel?" You're breaking up. I'll call you... "Will you just splice the wires in the wall and save me some money?" How much is your life worth? Sorry, we don't burn down houses on Wednesdays (or whatever day it happens to be). "What's wrong with wiring the ceiling fan with an extension cord? I did that myself." That's why accountants work with numbers and not wires. "Just wire it temporary. We will call you later for the permanent repair." Have you ever heard of a temporary house fire? I love my customers. Even the ones with the 'special' requests. Most of the time, they just don't know any better and believe that the safety issues with electricity are the same as those for paint, water and computers. Don't worry. If you ask me for one of the 'specials', I'll just smile and say "We don't burn down customers' houses on Wednesdays. I would recommend we do ___________ instead." Call ABR Electric (214-690-1941) if you're having problems with any facet of your electrical or need new electrical in your home. ...read more

I have a new quest: add awesome words to the English language. It usually takes years or being a celebrity (Sarah Palin and 'refudiate'). I will use Merchant Circle to advance this quest. A word and phrase for your consideration: 'Amazerating'. The meaning is very impressive, something a few steps beyond amazing, and increasing in its influence. For example: "My son just learned how to read. He is picking up Latin as he learns. Amazerating!" Or "I troubleshot a burned receptacle and corrected two other electrical problems at the same time. Amazerating!" So far, I have only used it to describe my granddaughter. Monkey Stomp has been around for awhile, but I saw it illustrated recently. Picture a surly, baboon attacking a man, picking him up, flinging him on the ground, then jumping repeatedly on the victim's chest. The whole assault is punctuated by wild screams and hand gestures. I would not advise using Monkey Stomp casually. A great example would be "That teenager just totally disrespected his ex-Army Ranger father. I hear a Monkey Stomping on the way". ABR Electric: Electrician for Allen, Frisco, McKinney and Plano with amazerating service to include troubleshooting, lighting, breakers, home offices, flat screen televisions. Do it right, make a positive memory and have fun! ...read more

Picture this: I am ushered to a main hallway by the lady of the house. She is frustrated to the point of talking through her clenched teeth. "I told him 'Just get an electrician. You're going to burn the house down!' Would he listen to me?" I am guessing he didn't based on the colorful arrangement of wires escaping from the switch box, with a few scattered burn marks on the wall near the wires. "Well, are we going to die?" "No ma'am" "Too bad. It'd serve him right...". She begins to wander down the hallway, muttering about the plumbing. Suddenly she turns and demands "You can fix it, right?" "Yes, ma'am". Many times have I witnessed this scene played out. A plethora of multi-colored wires crazily protruding from an electrical box, arc marks on the wall and husbands with band-aids on their fingers. Usually a wife near by, muttering and shaking her head. Here's the secret: If someone utters the phrase "It can't be that hard. I'm an engineer/architect/lawyer/mechanic/accountant, I can figure it out", distract them with a football game and hide their tools. Electrons do not respect a degree. Or good intentions. They flow where and when they can at the speed of light. Call ABR Electric for anything electrical in your home to be fixed right, for you to have a great experience and to have some fun (without the burns). We are located in the great City of Allen, and can be reached at 214-690-1941 or at www.abrelectrician.com Have a great day! ...read more
